Three teenagers, including one who is only 14-year-old, are facing dozens of charges in connection with a rash of pharmacy robberies in Peel Region over a two-week span.
Police say that the suspects were operating a stolen Toyota Corolla in the vicinity of Eglinton Avenue East and Central Parkway East at around 7:40 p.m. on June 9 when they were first spotted.
It is alleged that the vehicle was stolen from York Region on June 7 and then used in a pharmacy robbery in Brampton later that day. Police say that when officers approached the vehicle on the night of June 9 the suspects were donning masks and clothing to conceal their identity “ahead of a robbery.” They were all arrested at the time and police now allege that the group was also involved in a series of robberies that took place throughout Peel Region between May 24 and June 9.
A 14-year-old male from Mississauga and a 16-year-old and 17-year-old male from Brampton are facing a combined 56 charges in connection with the incidents, including robbery and use of an imitation firearm.
